BROKEN MAN

I stand before you today, just a mortal shell

Of what I formerly was, before I fell

Dashes of hopes and forgotten dreams

I do not often speak of such things

Once I was part of a million man army

Set out to conquer the material world

Fighting in the streets of the minds of men

Shoulder to shoulder in what might have been

Hard to believe when you see me now, but

You should’ve seen me then

Now even on my

Best day, even on the best day of my life I’m lookin’ for a

Good day doin’ what I can And even on the

Best day, even on the best day of my life

I’m still a broken man

I could move mountains and rockets through time and space

Used to race for the medals and come in first place

Now I’m whittled down to an army of one

See how far I have come undone

Once I felt strong, but now I am hollow

Where I have gone , please do not follow

Try all you can, and try all you might

Do not go gently into that good night

Tell them for me, again and again

You should’ve seen him then! ...Now even on my

Best day, even on the best day of my life I’m lookin’ for a

Good day doin’ what I can And even on the

Best day, even on the best day of my life

I’m still a broken man

Now even on my

Best day, even on the best day of my life I’m lookin’ for a

Good day doin’ what I can And even on the

Best day, even on the best day of my life

I’m still a broken man
